Directed by Elena Sakuda

The Zuzax is a climate change narrative film about rural New Mexico in the future. One story tells the life of Jayde, a girl quarantined in her rural community after being hit with a solar flare. The other follows two girls who meet in the Zuzax and have a moment to be kids. The film heavily showcases the beauty of the liminal, abandoned spaces, and the landscapes of New Mexico.
